Many people would agree that there is not a lot of understanding of bisexuality
and bisexual people… even though we compose 50 percent of the LGBT
community. Why is it that the aging bisexual community is one of the
least represented groups within our LGBT aging network? Let’s explore
some reasons why this might be the case.

LGBT Aging Concerns Abstract
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) elders and long-term couples have become more visible and their special concerns about aging are being recognized by gerontologists. LGBT elders are a diverse group with regard to all characteristics. This article focuses on the characteristics, research needs and barriers, service needs and barriers, clinical implications, and suggestions for appropriate treatment to increase awareness of clinical gerontologists who may not be familiar with LGBT seniors or who wish to improve their services to this population. Gerontologists working in long-term care facilities and those working in social and home care services may be especially interested in the special concerns of transgender elders and the recent changes in public policy regarding all LGBT elders.
